Caenan or Speed Spool

[AustinRob]

I'm kind of a beginner angler and I have some experience with baitcasters, but I was wondering your opinion on getting the Shimano Caenan or the Lews Speed Spool?

It looks like your budget is around $100.  Of those 2  I'd get the Lew's,  but I'd rather get a tatula for under $100 on eBay.

Id go with the speed spool as they have an aluminum frame while the caenan has a graphite.

I pay the few extra bucks for a citica or a tatula on sale. Between the original two each had pluses and minuses. I don't think either is head and shoulders above the other.

I'd get the citica.

lews all the way speed spools are pretty darn bullet proof

Is this the new caenan or an older one?

At $100 the Tatula, Lew's or Supreme.  Can find a Tournament MB on the auction site for $109.  I am not at all familiar with the Citica, but from everything I've read, I'd add it to the list as well if you can find one at that price.  I do have a few older Shimanos and like many on here am a fan......tho not a fanboy.

Between those two I would go with the LFS. But like DVT said I would get a new citica I . If you shop around you can find them for around $100. And it's a better reel in my opinion.

Tatula if your budget is $100.

i think it's maybe 5 years old?

I can't speak for the shimano reel but I would recommend the speed spool to anyone.

It was just recently updated and seems to be a much nicer reel than the previous version.
